We're Back in the Pool!
Group Classes ~ Enjoy exercising with friends!
Welcome to the water! We have received an overwhelming amount of interest since returning to the water and we're doing our best to accommodate as many swimmers as we can. We provide individualized and group time so swimmers can develop their skills and socialize with others. It's great fun!
